It was up to him to stay in good shape. He could have been better. But I think the main problem was being in bad ball clubs like Atlanta and Charlotte. He can't shine in a selfish teams. If he had been drafted by the Spurs it would have been another story.
@@mirak63 Even though he was out of shape for a majority of his career, he was still pretty agile for his size. He's one of the original point Centers who could switch on all 5 positions. I love how Int'l players bring their own flare to the NBA.
He is such a skilled player!!! I love how crafty he is both in scoring with post moves as well as passing and finding guys out of the post. For sure the Spurs would look very different offensively without him.
His IQ for the game was one of the most beautiful things I got to watch growing up. Never rattled or out of control, pure joy to watch for any basketball purest. Blessed to be a spurs fan btw :)
Call me crazy, but because of his recent play this season, he's probably become my favorite player, he's creative in a Ginobili way when it comes to finding ways to score, but as a big. The crazy stuff he can do under the hoop to fool defenders and score? It fits the Spurs' system really well, especially since we have so many players that play the game in-sync with each other, while being polar opposites with unique skill sets. They make being a fan easy because I can analyze a good game and enjoy it thoroughly.
This dude always looks like he knows what would happen exactly three seconds later... All these WTF moments is because he already planned out everything...
People think because Boris got on some some bad teams early that he wasn't that good but he is actually one of the most underrated players of the 2010's and one of my favorite players ever. The dude was schooling KD
One of my favourite Spurs players ever. I would fully agree if we would decide to retire his jersey, but we probably won't. 1.000 IQ player. Basically our version of Draymond Green without trash talking. And I love both these players.
Merci Normandie :)) I am french and so proud Diaw made his impact on the NBA over the years. If France won its first title ever at the european championships that's thanks to TP but also thanks to the resiliance, audacity and sacrifices made by the captain, Boris Diaw :)

@@Mikelangelong no you're right he was the perfect embodiment of a San Antonio spur

In terms of pure basketball skills, he is the best French basketball player of all times, even though Parker had a better career.
Diaw would be a menace in today's small ball league....A 6'8" forward who can play every position any team would love to have him.
Which current roster would u like to see this iteration of Diaw play for?
@@ai_9959 If he started: bucks
@@mokushmasmo6009 small ball center giannis would be filthy
he'd take Miami back to the finals with Lowry and Butler

7:57 OMG Magicians in action, Tony-Manu-Boris-Khawi...
Boris Diaw is the reason for the Spurs 's beautiful game to reach it's peak.

As Bill Walton would say, Boris Diaw is a classical human being.
Great post. It's beautiful to watch in early 2020
I see why KG said Diaw was the most talented player he had met.
Link?
Diaw just killed KD..
Kerr calling most of the games here and will be creating the blueprint of the Warriors offense from the Beautiful Game.
He is a genius. #TeddyDiaw
Mark jackson said it best after the series ended
"I tip my hat off to boris diaw"
Diaws playoff run in 2014 was magnificent. Couldve very likely walked away with the finals mvp. Just a textbook-player!
Too strong if matched with a small man, too quick for a big man.
Smoothest team play i've seen
I wish SA could have gotten Diaw earlier, he was a perfect Spur and one of my favourites. His time in SA just flew by unfortunately.
He is that sidekick that you needed in your team. He gets it done. He has good IQ.
He deserved WCF MVP.
@ 6:22 what a pass
Little bit lazy, but a true artist. Pleasure to watch
i think boris diaw and dreymond green have same role model player. they can shoot 3, well passer, and of course they played extremely smart..
+Indyar Bayu Waskita not even comparable...
diaw is way better shooter and passer
diay is way more scorer and smarter Green play more defense
Diaw is the life of the second group.Wonder if green could be that guy in gsw.he is useless without steph and klay
It should have been him or Timmy to win the Finals MVP, not Kawit.
I love to see Derek Fisher lose
Pop is the 🐐 Coach
Super versatile Charles Barkley
:30 literally boxed out 4 thunder players.
Diaw put Durant to want this WCF😂 miss you Borris🤧
a few years later,kevin durant decided to become a 🐍 so he can win a ring ........ 😂🤣😂-😭😭😭😭😭😭 ...... go spurs ........
the french beast
He sure did
13:54 Diaw vs Fisher, what? Totally wrong position, mismatch~
Would've been nice to see the misses too though, thanks anyway!
david traesegeh watch the whole game
Damn Durant can't guard diaw
This guy had 2 MJ in each legs
Lol
Diaw used KD, BAD!
but so sad the SAS were eliminated by OKC in 2016 again.....
Diaw>Durant
